An ellipse is an oval. You mean ellipsis.

So without looking, the intent is:

	if message length > max_length:
		message = (message substring with range { 0, max_length - 1 }) + '…'

And the actual code is something like:

	if message length > max_length + 2:
		message = (message substring with range { 0, max_length + 1 }) + '…'

…?

OK, just looked.

The actual code in the same class is:

		return [messageString  
stringWithEllipsisByTruncatingToLength:MAX_AVAILABLE_MESSAGE_LENGTH];

AIUtilities to the rescue. Here's what the implementation of that  
message says:

	if message length > max_length:
		message = (message substring with range { 0, max_length - 1 }) + '…'

Sounds like we can make that macro be the real maximum length.
